Our partners
The project has received support from Norwegian funds and we will cooperate with the Icelandic capital Reykjavik and the Norwegian city of Bergen. However, in a broader context, we consider all cities that are part of the Covenant of Mayors, or any cities that can be an inspiration in the field of carbon footprint reduction, sustainable energy or the creation of green and blue infrastructure, as partners.
